Steel wire and wire products for fences - Part 4: Steel wire welded mesh fencing

This European Standard specifies requirements for steel wire welded mesh fencing of which there are many types for a variety of applications. It specifies the general characteristics of welded mesh fencing supplied as rolls or panels and coatings, properties and tolerances.
This European Standard covers only orthogonal welded mesh i.e. wire welded at right angles to one another.
For welded mesh fencing made from panels the specification covers only panels made from wires not greater than 10 mm.

Stahldraht und Erzeugnisse aus Stahldraht für Zäune - Teil 4: Geschweiβte Gitter aus Stahldraht für Zäune

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an geschweißte Gitter aus Stahldraht für Zäune fest, von denen
zahlreiche Ausführungen für viele verschiedene Anwendungen bekannt sind. Sie legt für geschweißte Gitter,
die als Rollen oder Elemente geliefert werden, die allgemeinen Kenndaten sowie Überzüge, Eigenschaften
und Toleranzen fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur für rechtwinklig geschweißte Gitter, d. h. für Maschengeflechte aus Drähten,
die im rechten Winkel zueinander verschweißt wurden.
Bei geschweißten Gittern in Form von Elementen werden nur die Elemente festgelegt, die aus Drähten mit
einem Durchmesser bis 10 mm bestehen.

Fils et produits tréfilés en acier pour clôtures - Partie 4: Grillage en acier soudé

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions relatives au grillage en acier soudé, dont il existe de nombreux types différents, utilisés dans un grand nombre d’applications. Elle spécifie les caractéristiques générales du grillage en acier soudé, livré en rouleaux ou en panneaux, ainsi que les revêtements, caractéristiques et tolérances recommandés. La norme européenne ne concerne que les grillages en acier soudés à mailles orthogonales, c’est-à-dire à angle droit les unes des autres. En ce qui concerne les grillages en acier soudés en panneaux, les spécifications ne s’appliquent qu’aux panneaux réalisés en fil de section inférieure ou égale à 10 mm.

Jeklena žica in žični izdelki za ograje - 4. del: Varjene mrežne ograje iz jeklene žice

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za več vrst varjenih mrežnih ograj iz jeklene žice, ki se uporabljajo za različne namene. Določa splošne značilnosti varjene mrežne ograje, oblikovane v zvitke ali plošče, ter prevlek, lastnosti in tolerance. Ta evropski standard velja samo za pravokotno varjeno mrežo, na primer žico, ki je varjena na drugo pod pravim kotom. Pri varjenih mrežnih ograjah, ki so narejene iz plošč, specifikacija zajema le plošče iz žice, ki so tanjše od 10 mm.

Overview

EN 10223-4:2012 - Steel wire and wire products for fencing and netting - Part 4: Steel wire welded mesh fencing is a CEN European Standard that specifies technical requirements, characteristics and tolerances for orthogonal (right‑angle) welded steel wire mesh used for fencing. It covers welded mesh supplied as rolls or panels (panels limited to wires ≤ 10 mm) and defines requirements for base metal, fabrication, coatings, mechanical properties and testing.

Keywords: EN 10223-4:2012, steel wire welded mesh fencing, orthogonal welded mesh, welded mesh panels, welded mesh rolls, fencing standard.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope: Orthogonal welded mesh only; panels limited to wire diameters ≤ 10 mm.
• Base material & fabrication: Low‑carbon steel; electrical resistance welding at every intersection. Mesh may be crimped; panels produced by cutting from rolls or finished after welding.
• Coatings:
  • Zinc or zinc‑alloy coatings (pre‑ or post‑fabrication) per EN 10244 series; panels hot‑dip coated to EN ISO 1461 when coated after welding.
  • Organic coatings (PVC, PE, etc.) per EN 10245 series where specified.
• Mechanical properties:
  • Tensile strength of line and cross wires: 350 to 950 N/mm² (document specifies delivered lot spread within 200 N/m²).
  • Weld shear strength: average test load (see Annex A) shall be ≥ 75% of the breaking load of the smallest diameter wire.
• Dimensions & tolerances:
  • Mesh spacing tolerances after coating vary by nominal mesh size (e.g., ±2.0 mm for ≤25 mm spacing, increasing for larger meshes).
  • Cumulative variation limited (maximum ±5 mm per metre).
• Supply & documentation: Purchaser must state mesh sizes, wire diameters, roll/panel dimensions, coating class and whether coating is before/after fabrication, organic coating requirements, tensile targets, crimping, packaging and test/report needs.
• Sampling & testing: Manufacturer quality control by statistical sampling or defined periodic sampling; test methods referenced for tensile, wire dimensions, weld shear and coatings.

Applications and Users

Practical uses include security fencing, agricultural fencing, perimeter protection, and general external structures where welded mesh panels or rolls are required. Typical users:

• Fence manufacturers and fabricators
• Specifiers: architects, civil and structural engineers
• Procurement officers and asset managers
• Test laboratories and quality inspectors
• Installers and contractors

Related Standards

• EN 10223 series (Parts 1–8) - other fencing/wire products
• EN 10218‑1 / EN 10218‑2 - general wire test methods and tolerances
• EN 10244‑1 / EN 10244‑2 - zinc/zinc‑alloy coatings on wire
• EN 10245‑1 / EN 10245‑2 / EN 10245‑3 - organic coatings on wire
• EN ISO 1461 - hot‑dip galvanizing on fabricated articles
• EN 10021, EN 10204 - delivery conditions and inspection documents

This standard is essential when specifying or manufacturing welded mesh fencing to ensure consistent performance, corrosion protection and interchangeability across European markets.
